ListQuest

I'm always on the lookout for new ways to organize things. After reading a book called Multiple Streams of Income, by Robert Allen, which identifies many of the different ways one can generate residual income, I had an idea.

As an aspiring entrepreneur, I'm already working toward financial freedom through the artistic projects I've started. These projects already cover several of the assets mentioned by this book. Products, Services (logo design), Intellectual Properties, and Inventions to name a few. Since I'm already doing this anyway, it made sense to widen my scope to include other types of assets that I'm interested in learning about.

So, I've decided that I would begin a quest, or sorts. The quest would be to create a "master list" of all the different types of residual income that I could learn about through research and then prioritize them in order of acheivability (for me, anyway). Next, as I learn about each, I could start creating a lay-man's guide, or a "how-to" manual on aquiring them... How I learn about them, the challenges I encounter during their aquisition, and how I overcome those challenges to obtain my goal assets, etc. The idea is in the quest itself. I call it my LIST QUEST. The quest to aquire at least ONE of each asset on the list, beginning with the easiest. Finally, I would document my checklist publically on a blog of the same name. I'm excited about this because it'll push me to learn about new and challenging ways to become financially free, and allow me to help others do the same.
